You can be part of hip hop culture while singing. Hip hop ain’t rap only. And this crossover is why traditional r&b is suffering/died. R&B became too hip hop over the past 25 yrs

The crossover is also why traditional hip hop died.

Nah, rappers chasing pop fame, label politics such as formulaic albums, people caring about the beat over the lyrics, and lack of gatekeepers to an extent have eroded hip hop.

[Absolut da poet ®]

I'm still pumped up from last night. This shyt took me back home so much. I miss old NYC.

Gave me flashbacks to my old heads talking about the Cold Crush and those battles back in the Treacherous 3 & Flash days

I don't think crossover between R&B and hip-hop killed traditional hip-hop at all.

I think it got killed by formulas, chasing trends, everyone being allowed in, corporations cashing in on it, the globalization and gentrification of it, etc.

I don't think Mary J on records with Jay or Big did anything close to hurting traditional hip-hop.

For real at one point (when Lox was doing all the female joints) I legitimately thought Dipset left the stage.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Jada a funny dude

 

[Rekkapryde]

Throwback

 

[Hostile]

Flea needs to leave that Purple Haze bullshyt alone. Nobody wants to hear him perform that. Styles broke him when he said he didn't have bars. Should've left Juelz and Zeke at home and brought Gruff instead.

 

[OfTheCross]

That was a moment. Best verzuz hands down just from the show The LOX put on.

that's KONY tho...

[get these nets]

So those artists aren’t R&B then? Are ya’ll arguing R&B and hip hop is the same thing? I’m legit confused.
I get that certain R&B artists brought a hip hop swag and aesthetic to the music in the 90s and Puff had Jodeci and Mary singing over classic hip hop beats, but they were always R&B singers.

What is Mary's unofficial title?

"The Queen of ......................."

She rapped on her first album.



I hear your point, and partially agree, but how would you categorize The FORCE M.D.s. As you know, they were on the scene in the original era of hip hop as the FORCE MCs.

 

[Hungerpain]

Can't believe Styles aint do Holiday.
